“Gotham Knight” offers six self-contained chapters that show us Batman on his way to “The Dark Knight.” Oh, and did I mention silky sleek animation? Marvel at the video above and go to the “Gotham Knight” site for further wow.

Here’s the “Batman Gotham Knight” chapter-by-chapter synopsis, straight from the official Web site.

In “Have I Got a Story for You,” Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson (“A History of Violence”) tells the story of how chance encounters with Batman by a group of youngsters leave each kid with a very different impression of the Dark Knight.

In “Crossfire,” acclaimed novelist/comics writer Greg Rucka tells the story of Gotham City police having to get over their distrust of Batman — while under fire from the mob.

In “Field Test,” writer Jordan Goldberg showcases the incredible high-tech arsenal Batman commands and reveals that there are some things even Batman won’t do in his pursuit of justice.

“In Darkness Dwells” takes Batman into the Gotham sewers to face “Killer Croc,” a deformed thug who seems even more monstrous after the Scarecrow, and his fear toxin, makes a resurgence, in a story by David S. Goyer, co-screenwriter of “Batman Begins.”

Award-winning comics writer Brian Azzarello explores an early chapter of Bruce Wayne’s training in “Working Through Pain,” showing how a mysterious and exotic Indian woman named Cassandra introduced Batman to techniques that would help him to conquer the physical and spiritual consequences of what he does.

Finally, in “Deadshot,” four-time Emmy Award-winning writer Alan Burnett ties together threads from all the Batman Gotham Knight chapters, as Batman must thwart an unerring assassin whose love of guns and disregard for human life lets him cross lines that even a Dark Knight shies away from.

Not sure if you’ve heard this, but Bob’s Comics is set to close its doors for good this weekend. This is just wrong. This may be the thing that finally closes the door on my time with comics. I have tried the other shops, but most of them just didn’t work for me. The staff at Atomic is too cold and distant, the folks at Heroes and Fantasies have managed to achieve the status of stoner corporate, which is just too odd to deal with. Last I heard, the Purple Cactus had also gone extict. If I don’t find a good shop, I may be leaving comics behind. Any advice?
